Penny Whiskey is a group of fun loving folks who truly have a good time
doing what they love most...entertaining. The brain child of Kirk McWhorter
(from the critically acclaimed Celtic band 'Kilbrannan') Penny Whiskey

promises to offer the best in music from both Ireland and Scotland

along with home grown bluegrass and folk influences.

The foundation of Penny Whiskey is the melodic vocals of Kirk, who also plays
guitar, banjo, bodhran, whistles and percussion backed up by the solid playing
of Jon Carlson on acoustic guitar and mandolin. The quintet is rounded out by
Dan Lelito on bass with Paul Kneis supplying his talents on mandolin, guitar and
flute and newest member Paul Runfola (who took second place in the North American
Rock Guitar Competition) on electric guitar. Of course, everybody sings...
including the audience!

With audience participation songs, rousing pub sings, comedy tunes and
tearful ballads, Penny Whiskey offers something for everyone.
